The band's name is sometimes falsely thought to be an acronym for "Victory Orgasm Nazi(s)". Varg Vikernes used those words to spell the band's name during a phone interview with Michael Moynihan because Moynihan apparently did not hear the name correctly. According to the band, the name stands for "nothing but images of darkness and blood".
